Switch Child 2

Switch Child 2 takes up the story of Colin Craft, a six year old child who suffered a catastrophic head trauma in the same boating accident that claimed both his parents. Karl Hoffman wants to live up to being Colin's adoptive father, but there are problems. Colin managed to extend his awareness into the city's electrical infrastructure at first, and became so adept at it that, when his body gave out, Colin became a permanent resident of computers, digital communication devices, and connecting conduits. Karl Hoffman is his only connection to the world he left behind, and Colin is the son he never had. Both realize that secrecy is paramount, for if the child's existence was ever revealed, there would be a world wide controversy. When the world learned of what Colin is capable of, controversy would escalate to a firestorm. Karl needs guidance and help, but who could he possibly turn to? The answer might be found in a most upsetting text message resulting from his interview with Detective Alice Roland.
